Greece 'gave Everything' For George Baldock On Historic Night At Wembley: Vangelis Pavlidis
UEFA Nations League: On an emotional night at the Wembley Stadium, Vangelis Pavlidis struck twice as Greece earned an historic 2-1 victory triumph away against England. The Greek hero on the night dedicated victory to the memory of Greek footballer George Baldock, who passed away on Wednesday.
"It was a really special day for us because of George. We have thought about him a lot since we heard it yesterday. A difficult moment for us because George was part of the team. Special guy. We have to play for him and it doesn’t matter the score today. We gave everything for him," Pavlidis told ITV.
A minute's silence was held in memory of Baldock before the Nations League match, and Pavlidis Pavlidis, the first Greek to score at the historic Wembley, celebrated the goals by showing the black armband before all players collectively raised Baldock's number two shirt in celebration after Greece had recorded their first ever win over the Three Lions.
